Abstract: Maintaining security in the digital world continues to grow in complexity. Firms must protect operating hardware and sensitive data against increasingly innovative threats. With the emergence of digital goods comes a new security front where firms face the reproduction and rapid distribution of the digital goods themselves. Certainly, firms already have had to protect many of their goods from “knockoffs,” but protecting digital goods represents a new level of challenge since the cost of copying and distributing such goods is virtually zero and can occur extensively within very short periods of time. The music industry has been the “poster industry” for facing such threats. The industry’s goods are digital by nature. Further, the appearance of Peer-to-Peer networks offered the means to copy (download) the goods and distribute (share) them rapidly.
